What You Will Learn
Join Moen as we examine the growing macro trend of Home Holistic Wellness, and dive into related wellness design themes of Hygiene Conscious, Personal Expression, and Impact Revolution.
Because Moen takes a two-pronged approach to trend analysis and execution, this highly visual program is set up in a way that allows us to contextualize trends and showcase how Moen leverages both science and personality to drive design.
We’ll explore how basic human needs, combined with current trends, help to inform, and inspire the Moen product catalog and innovations.
During this session, you will:
- Explore some of the latest design trends related to wellness.
- Examine how those trends are inspiring and directing product development.
- Recognize how product launches seamlessly incorporate the trends and make your clients’ design dreams – in form and function – come true.
